Chapter 263: Almina’s unknown feeling (1/2)

Almina and the others were currently battling inside the dungeon.

Slash! Slash! Slash!

She waved her weapon, rapidly slicing the monster's body. ACK!!! The monster let out one last cry before it fell on the ground, bathing in its muddy black blood. Without even giving a second glance to the monster, she ran towards the approaching monsters. Almina had no time to rest as more enemies came out from hiding.

She jumped and flipped in mid-air. Then she rotated really fast, creating a semi-fire-wind tornado. The monsters who contacted it had their bodies shredded. Three monsters became the unlucky victims.

Blood smeared the surrounding together with a blood stench.

The other monsters became angry and attacked aggressively but multiple aurae flew and found their way to the target's weak points.

The monsters shrieked in agony. Although they did not die on the spot because of their high defense, a magical aura in the form of fireballs came raining from above and hit them at once. It was coming from the spellcasters of the party.

The other vanguard of their party slashed the monster in front of her, but for some reason, her sword bounced back. ”Even though it was an expensive sword. Why can't they cut the damn!” She whined.

She wondered how Miss Almina was able to kill these troublesome monsters easily. That's why she was the Elite trainee's leader.

After the other vanguard failed to kill the monster in front of her, the other marksman in their group assisted by firing a magic-based pistol on the monster.

Their party consisted of 10 people. So it wasn't weird that some of their members would have the same roles. Although they were supposed to be 10 members, there were 9 of them at the moment. Kesha did not join as she was waiting for a delivery.

Almina stopped and her feet landed gracefully on the ground.

”Behind!”

Someone shouted.

”Eh?” Almina was surprised. Her eyes widened and at a loss. Her face turned pale.

”Tsk!”

Maena clicked her tongue. It was unusual for Almina to let her guard down.

Woosh!

Eek!

The arrow flew and landed in the monster's eye when Maena shot it from a distance of about 20 steps away from her, but the arrow landed where she intended it to land. As expected of someone who has high dexterity.

The monster had a cat face, but on its forehead, a horn of the rhinoceros beetle could be seen. Not only that, while it has the cat's agility, the body was covered by a tough shell. So it was a kind of monster specializing in speed and defense.

Only the face and limbs were the noticeable weakness of it, but because of its agility, it wasn't easy to deal with.

This kind of monster was the bane of all people who specialized in melee combat. But it seemed to be not the case with Almina, who took the role of vanguard. Well, she was a special case.

But for some reason, Almina almost had herself sorry.

After Maena hit the monster's eye, a shadow rushed forward in haste.

With the two consecutive strikes, the monster let out a cry before it was sliced in four. The scout of the group followed up.

”Good Job,” Maena said to her.

The scout nodded.

”And… What happened?” Maena asked Almina who in a daze.

”S-sorry, I missed up.”

Hah! Maena sighed. ”Regardless, don't get yourself killed until I bet you in the duel.”
